Isn't the Google Play version an ePub? When I check my library, it does offer that as a download option, although I didn't actually try to download it.

Kregel freebies have never in my experience gone free at ChristianBook, though I usually do check, just in case. They seem to stick to just Amazon and usually B&N and/or Google (sometimes they skip one or the other).
And it makes perfect sense to grab the freebies in as many different store accounts as you can. Not only is there that Pokémon-like thrill of catching them all, it's also good future-proofing insurance for when a store decides to stop offering easy downloads (Y HELO THAR, B&N, or, for that matter the time a couple of years ago when Amazon broke "the tools" for Kindle for PC/Mac and we had to wait a bit for the toolmakers to figure out what they'd changed), or shuts down entirely (I have a bunch of ex-Borders & Sony freebies which mostly did get ported over to Kobo when they transferred the accounts, but some of which didn't and I was fortunate to still have in iTunes and elsewhere which had been not been free for Canadians at Amazon, who are occasionally stingy about price-matching outside the US).
You never know.
(Plus, I have this firm belief that picking up free books from the not-so-popular stores helps encourage the publishers to keep offering the freebies to said not-so-popular stores on the grounds that at least they're attracting
some attention and not to think that oh, no one gets anything at anyplace but Amazon so we'll just only offer things at Amazon from now on, and that's why I try to put in all the links I can find for the multi-store official publisher promo freebies when I post.)
